You are missing my point. One does not justify the other. There should be NO lies or misdirections. All it does is support that claim.There's lies on every network every day, including the local stations. I heard at least 2 lies last night on the local KDKA news. It happens all of the time.
Just like Peter the lovebird.I have read that he was assigned to the Mueller team and then removed when his anti-Trump biases were discovered.
